I am having such a busy Monday morning! When I saw this nice tea sachet in my tea drawer here at work, asking nothing of me but to put some water in my kettle, I knew it was a Hot Cinnamon Sunset day!
I had a very bad experience with a hot cinnamon tea (not Harney’s) when I was brewing all teas at 5 minutes no matter what, and putting milk and sugar in all black teas. I had brewed up the most sickening bitter hot sweet milky disgusting thing ever, so I knew this was to be taken without additives, and steeped with a light hand.
At three minutes and taken plain, this is DELICIOUS!!! I love cinnamon, and this is a spicy, lively, cinnamony delight! Invigorating! People say “red hots!” as the flavor for this tea, and I would agree – but a less sweet candy flavor to me. I went for a second infusion at 5 minutes and still got a nice warm spicy cup of tea. Not sickening or cloying at all. This really hit the spot this morning.
I have to get some sachets of Harney & Sons teas for days like these! How cute are these tagalong tins for just this purpose?!!

The little tins are cool just to play with!
I used to have a tin like that which held mints. I loved to pop it open and closed incessantly—to the annoyance of everyone around me! :)
